The Role  Evidence Action was built on the belief that data should drive every important decision, from how programs are selected, designed, and delivered, to how resources are allocated and programs are scaled.

You bring deep expertise in quantitative-heavy program evaluation and evidence systems, strategic instincts to identify problems early, curiosity to ask relevant questions to understand context, impatient optimism to arrive at possible solutions under time and resource limitations, and the interpersonal sophi
